Replacing Category Names with Images in the main page (not the side bar)

Hi Guys,

Firstly let me say what a pleasure ZenCart is to work with - very happy with the system. In my opinion better than Joomla etc.

Instea dof listing the flyer categories (see attachment) as they are on the main page (A6 single sided, a6 double sided, 15 single sided etc) I would like big images that the users can click on which takes into that category, so it has a much more tactile feel. I will remove the links to the new products, so when a customer clicks flyer, they then click the type of flyer, page weight etc.....to do this I need to change the simple grey text to images so I can make it more visually appealing....any ideas how?

ThanksAttachment 11887

You can get the images just by loading them as the image for each category, at the bottom of the category creation/editing page.

Removing the text will require a small edit to a template file, as this is not addressable by CSS.
